Endless Ascension

Chapter 55:, Blood-Eyed Maned Lion

In the game, there are numerous tasks, including dungeon quests for leveling up.

Qin Ze could understand this.

However, it was really very difficult to hunt a fifth-level demonic beast.

Throughout the afternoon, Qin Ze was constantly annoyed. After killing more than a dozen fourth-level demonic beasts, the experience bar remained unchanged. "It seems that I can't level up without killing a fifth-level demonic beast."

"Damn it, you're so cruel."

Qin Ze complained in his heart. He smashed his fists hard on the head of the Scarlet Flame Boar, then grabbed its long tusks and crazily lifted its several-thousand-pound body into the air, and then smashed it down forcefully.

"Boom..."

A huge pit appeared on the ground. The Scarlet Flame Boar's eyes rolled white, and its body kept twitching. Seeing Qin Ze walking up step by step, it struggled frantically, wanting to escape. However, Qin Ze was so furious with the system at this moment that he couldn't let it escape easily.

With one step, his body was like a launched bullet. "Whoosh," and in the next second, he appeared beside the Scarlet Flame Boar.

Qin Ze stepped on the head of the Scarlet Flame Boar with one foot and grabbed a tusk with one hand. Suddenly, he forcefully pulled it out. The Scarlet Flame Boar let out a painful howl, and its eyeballs almost popped out. Its breath was filled with fiery red magma.

The tusks of the Scarlet Flame Boar were about half a meter long and looked like a machete. It was very handy to use as a weapon. He swung it back and forth in the air a few times and felt that something was missing. Looking at the other tusk, he sneered, "Old pig, I'm sorry. In the next life, don't grow such long tusks to avoid attracting people's envy."

After saying that, Qin Ze pulled out the other tusk as well.

Unable to bear the great pain, the Scarlet Flame Boar finally died.

Qin Ze was too lazy to look at the system prompt. Holding a tusk in each hand, he casually swung them in the air, gave a satisfied smile, then frowned and quickly rushed to one side, starting to launch a frenzied attack on another demonic beast.

The tusks of the Scarlet Flame Boar were the hardest part of its body. After years of sharpening, they became very sharp. When attacking, they carried a hot magma breath. This breath could directly make third-level demonic beasts run away without even the intention to fight.

The entire afternoon, Qin Ze was venting, frantically venting like a rampaging beast. The demonic beasts active in the surrounding area suffered greatly.

When he returned to the cave, it was already dark.

Hei Yan was sitting cross-legged inside the cave, cultivating his Qi.

Qin Ze didn't bother him and sat at the cave entrance. He took out a pill from his bosom and threw it into his mouth.

Health-preserving Pills were essential for cultivators. They not only could improve one's cultivation but also, most importantly, could satisfy hunger and provide the nutrients the body needed. For Qin Ze, it was just used to satisfy hunger. Its attributes were so weak that they could be ignored.

After taking one pill, his stomach was no longer hungry. He fell into deep thought again, thinking about the matter of leveling up. He thought, "I must kill a fifth-level demonic beast. Big Brother Hei is about to leave. It's best to get him a crystal core before he leaves. After all, I owe him."

Since stepping into the Kunlun Mountains, Qin Ze had been secretly planning this. The energy contained in the crystal core was too huge. At the Autumn Hunting Competition venue, he didn't understand the crystal core. Now, after devouring it, he realized how important the crystal core was for martial cultivators.

The crystal core of the Violent Golden Ape shouldn't have belonged to him. Since Hei Yan gave the crystal core to him, he must also get a crystal core to return to him.

Soon, Hei Yan would leave for the Liuyun Sect. He must prepare a gift for him.

After devouring the crystal core, his cultivation would definitely improve greatly. At that time, in the Liuyun Sect, there might be a chance to become an inner sect disciple.

Having made up his mind, Qin Ze glanced at Hei Yan, who was still cultivating, and jumped down...

————————

In the darkness, Qin Ze jumped repeatedly, constantly shuttling. Then he stopped to sense the breaths within a one-kilometer radius around him using the Breath Law.

A few seconds later, he jumped up again and sneaked deeper into the hinterland of the mountains.

In the Kunlun Mountains, fifth-level demonic beasts were like local overlords. They all had their own territories and couldn't tolerate infringement. The larger the territory, the stronger its strength.

Some demonic beasts' territories were even tens of thousands of kilometers large. All the demonic beasts in this area regarded it as the king and worshipped and offered tribute to it.

After running for more than ten kilometers in a row, Qin Ze still didn't find a fifth-level demonic beast. He couldn't help but curse, "Damn, where the hell have they gone?"

A demonic beast needed to cultivate for decades or even hundreds of years to break through to the fifth level and condense a crystal core under the right opportunity. The energy contained in the crystal core was so urgently needed by even the cultivators in the cultivation world. Naturally, many people hunted them, which was why fifth-level demonic beasts were not common.

Standing on the treetop, Qin Ze looked around for a moment, released the Breath Law, sensed the demonic beasts moving around, frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then moved forward again.

He kept advancing throughout the night, and he didn't know how many kilometers he had gone deep.

It was not until the sky was dawning that Qin Ze stopped. Looking at the broken branches of the towering trees and the large and small pits, and seeing that the traces of destruction were completely new, there must have been a fierce battle here just now. Qin Ze's brows lit up. A high-level demonic beast must have caused such great damage. Immediately, Qin Ze used the Breath Law to sense it. Soon, his face showed a smile and said faintly, "Finally, I found one."

He jumped off the treetop, his footsteps very light. He carefully advanced along the sensed breath, dragging the bone knife made from the tusks of the Scarlet Flame Boar behind him. At this moment, Qin Ze was extremely calm, and his eyes were constantly vigilant around.

The breath sensed in the Breath Law was very powerful. It was the first time he had sensed such a powerful breath. At this moment, Qin Ze determined that there must be a high-level demonic beast ahead.

It took Qin Ze more than half an hour to cover the less than one-kilometer distance. At this time, the sky was already bright, the sun was just rising, and the dew on the tip of the leaves slipped down. It seemed like it was raining in the forest. The dew slid across his cheeks, but Qin Ze didn't wipe it off. His eyes stared ahead, and his Adam's apple rolled.

Just as he stepped into this open flat ground, Qin Ze felt a strong pressure. The pressure came from the huge lion in front that seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Its huge body had fiery red eyes that slightly opened, and its eyeballs moved back and forth. Its yellow long hair was like a thick blanket, and its steel-like tail swung gently.

If Qin Ze hadn't comprehended the Breath Law, he would have been exposed by now.

Looking at the colossal creature in front of him, Qin Ze's heart trembled. He gritted his teeth and was just about to launch a sneak attack when the huge body suddenly moved, opened its huge mouth, and let out a painful roar.afterwards, bright red blood flowed out from under its butt.

"What's going on?"

Qin Ze hid aside and didn't move. From the roar just now, he could clearly sense that the breath in its body was very chaotic, as if it had been seriously injured. Looking at the blood seeping out from under its butt, Qin Ze was even more certain that it must have been seriously injured. "As the ancients said, take advantage of your illness to take your life."

Qin Ze let out a cold shout in his body, "Dragon-Elephant Divine Might."

The Dragon-Elephant Void Scripture suddenly activated, and a powerful breath was released. Qin Ze didn't rush up immediately but used skill stacking and shouted, "Berserk."

"Boom..."

The Dragon-Elephant Divine Might and Berserk were perfectly stacked together. At this moment, Qin Ze's whole body was filled with wild and overbearing power. Holding the bone knife in both hands, he quickly rushed up, his speed as fast as lightning, leaving a long tail flame behind...

The colossal creature's eyes opened wide, and a strong breath immediately released from its blood-red eyes. Its body stood up with a bang, and it opened its blood basin mouth and let out a crazy roar...

"Roar..."

Qin Ze's ears went numb, and his speed suddenly slowed down due to the resistance generated by the sound waves. He was greatly shocked and increased his speed again, rushing forward frantically and stabbing a knife into the demonic beast's neck with a high jump...
